Or not, if engadget’s analysis is to be believed. While it may be true that an Apple lawsuit may not have a leg to stand up unless someone mimics Apple’s scrolling system, everyone who thinks Apple will try anyway raise your hands.

It provides me pleasure that Palm’s got even more ammo on Apple (apparently) than vice-versa. Maybe they’ll leave each other alone and actually spend money on new products for us instead.

My take: This is stupid. beyond stupid. what’s apple going to patent next? use of the color white with respect to consumer electronics? How about the letter ‘I’? Innovation is dependent on completely exploring the scope of a concept before moving on to the next. Processor were pushed to their limits before multi-core processors came out. Anyone who thinks Apple retarding progress on touch technology (which they assuredly will do) is a good thing say ‘I’.
